My other half, the monster inside.

chapter 1, the night it all began

chapter 1, the night it all began

im running, my breath running out but i cant stop. if i stop i just know it'll catch up, the darkness will catch up. i trip over a tree root and try to scramble to my feet in time but that just makes me fall again. i feel a shadow hover above me and i roll over looking up at it, i cant help but shut my eyes and scream as it engulfs me i its darkness and --- 

'Rosette!! Rossete!!!'

i scream again as i awaken from my dream. i look around the room remebering it was just a dream. " thank you, alice" i said panting slightly. 

' are you ok?' she sounded worried so i knew i had to lie.. i hated seeing her worried and sad like that.

"mm, im fine.. just a nightmare"

she turns her head towards the door and then i realise what she has heard before me. someones comming, probably my borther to see what had happened. i hurried to lay back down and roll over and make my breathing seem normal. 

the door slowly started to open and i see a small shred of light coming in. i shut my eyes tight so if he came over hed think i was asleep. 

"rosette, are you ok?" he said in a whisper so as not to wake me if i were actually asleep.

i stay the same, eyes shut and consentrating on controlling my breathing. slowly, and probably reluctantly he stood back and closed the door quietly as he walked away. 

i was so young then, but still i tried not to upset people as best i could. sometimes, randomly people would see me smiling and just burst into tears, i never really understood why. now i think its possible that the couldnt understand why or how i could smile when i was so cursed. i always smiled because if one person could smile, i figured so could others, but it seemed the more i smiled, less did others. 

'are you sure your ok?' alice was still worried. i had had the same dream three nights in a row. 

"yeah, ill be fine" i say to her, obviosly lying. the nightmare gets worse every time, not so much scarier (i dont see how it could get scarier) but more like its getting closer, and closer to me as if next time it wont just be a nightmare but something real. and as i start to fall asleep again, that is exactly what happens.

i am engulfed in the darkness and lose all sence of sight and sound, at least for a moment..

*thank you Rosette, youve finally let me take over for you! wont you also let me, take revenge for you?* i heard a voice in my head say.

"who are you? what do you mean 'take over for me?? what revenge?!" i screamed, my voice seemed distant and as if it were only an echo of my thoughts.

*you will see*

then, i hear singing and something inside me makes me join in too even though i had never heard the song before.

"blossoms blossoms

in the snow

a pure whit lily

oh so beautiful."

im singing words that ive never heard before let alone sang before. but i cant seem to stop myself and besides that i feel my body start to move on its own. whats happening?

"crying crying

does the girl

as she freezes 

along with her world.

wlaking walking

along in the snow

but when she sees the lily
